We explain some of the most talked about psychological perspectives - and how their development looked like.

Social psychology is about how we humans relate to each other, for better or for worse. How we function as a group, both in the big and the small. And as an area, it accommodates everything from lavish experiments to everyday observations. What are social psychology experiments about? What do roles mean? And what does Nazism have to do with it? We go through the basics of social psychology - what it looked like in the past and what it looks like today.

Our mental health will change during our lives, sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse. We can worry a lot and perhaps feel strong anxiety. But we can also have good mental health.
